Our area was super clean. No problems with hookups. Only downfall was there wasn’t a pad next to the camper.

I was going to give this park a much more harsh review until I learned that it had been hit hard by a tornado a couple years ago. DO NOT believe the pictures in the website. Lots of vegetation was knocked out by the storm. It is nice that part of their rebuild is every site now has sewer, which is not noted in the park information that I saw. Only 2 of the 6 shower heads in the men's bathrooms in the park worked. It was nice that they did keep the restroom at a nice warm temperature. Had to take trash to a central location no where near the RV area. I wish this park luck and hope it can recover.
Cell service was a MAJOR issue. Although there was a strong cell signal the bandwidth was almost nonexistent. Do not expect to use the internet for either ATT or Verizon.

Quiet, peaceful, clean, safe, and getting a spot was easy! It was my first camping trip and it was AMAZING. I actually can’t see how it could be better.

Paved level pads. Power is sketchy on some sites and you can never find a park attendant. A playground is advertised but the area it is located is closed. Overall good campground.
